'Women are better in advertising': Sir Martin Sorrell

Article here. Excerpt:

'He praised the fairer sex for being more organised as part of a defence for flexible working, while chiming into the discussion over the merits of working from home.

Sir Martin positioned himself "somewhere in the middle" of Yahoo! boss Marissa Mayer, whose edict to staff this week banning the practice sparked fiery debate, and Richard Branson, who branded her approach "perplexing and backwards".

"You want a bit of both. You need to have flexibility," said Sir Martin, who went on to applaud female workers' capabilities, in an interview with Reuters.

"Women are much better organisers of time in our industry than men. I would argue they’re even better at doing their jobs than men in our industry generally."'

... self-made multi-millionaire man throwing other men under the bus in a transparent effort to kiss feminist a$$. It's such a tired refrain. Hey Sir Martin, if women are so much better in your industry, then why don't you step aside and let a woman take the reins? Would seem to be the logical thing to do, and best thing to do for your company, right?

The hypocrisy of feminist-pandering males is truly amazing. Never trust a male feminist. After all, if he can't tell when he's deceiving himself, how do you know he won't take the first opportunity to do the same to you?

He's just like Obama and other male politicians - if he thinks women are so much better why doesn't he just step aside and let a woman take over?

It's such a shame to see a man such as him pandering to women. A man like him - who built a strong business through sheer hard work and effort - should know better than to pander to anyone. If women are so much better why haven't they built their own world-beating ad companies?
